2. Investment Thesis (one‑page tear‑sheet)
Why now – three bullets

  1. Post‑halving scarcity meets record institutional flows. Spot‑ETF AUM crossed €75 bn Q2‑25, 58 % QoQ ⬆ (Glassnode) as pensions enter the asset class. (Glassnode Insights)
  2. Network utility accelerates. Active supply rose 70  % in Q4‑24 as <$100 k price triggered profit‑taking and new address creation. (get.glassnode.com)
  3. Macro tailwinds. Eurozone real rates negative 0.4  %, driving demand for store‑of‑value, while MiCA delivers regulatory clarity.

Positioning line
“Decentralised reserve asset – initiate at Buy.”


3. Investment Positives (rank‑ordered)

# Driver Data‑point Impact
1 Fourth halving supply shock New issuance down from 900 → 450 BTC / day post‑Apr‑24 Sustains 18 % 3‑yr price CAGR in base case
2 Institutional adoption Futures OI +216  % y/y to $50.9 bn 2024 YE (Glassnode Insights) Deepens liquidity, compresses risk premium
3 Hash‑rate resilience Network hash +42  % since halving (Glassnode, Jul‑25) Security moat widens; raises fair NVT floor
4 Layer‑2 fee migration Mean tx‑fee –38  % y/y yet volume +63  % Higher user elasticity, broader TAM
5 Macro diversification 0.24 3‑yr rolling corr. to Stoxx 600 Enhances portfolio utility; supports multiple

5. Estimates & Operating Assumptions (top‑line model)

2024A 2025E 2026E 2027E
Avg. BTC / EUR price 87,400 109,200 121,800 135,000
On‑chain volume (bn €) 15,000 18,600 22,700 27,900
Implied velocity 7.6× 8.1× 8.7× 9.2×
Miner incentive rev. (bn €)³ 13.9 13.0 11.2 10.5
Active addresses (m) 0.49 0.57 0.67 0.77

³Block subsidy + fees converted at spot; assumes fee ratio rises to 18 % by 2027E as subsidy halves again 2028.

Key driver assumptions

  • Address base +11 % CAGR (Glassnode trailing trend).
  • Euro M2 growth 4 % pa; we assume velocity outpaces by 50  bps annually.
  • ETF net inflows taper to €8 bn / qtr 2026E then flat.

6. Valuation

Primary metric – Network Value / Transaction (NVT)

  • Current NVT 34.8 × (see §4).
  • Historic mid‑cycle mean 45 ×; one s.d. below mean 30 ×.
  • We apply 32 × to 2026E projected daily vol €62.8 bn ⇒ equity value €2.05 tn ⇒ €126,500 per BTC.

Cross‑check – Market‑cap to Realised‑cap (MVRV)

  • Current realised cap €0.72 tn (Glassnode, Jul‑25).
  • Implied 2026E MVRV 2.85× vs. 3.1× 10‑yr mean – conservative.

Peer multiple sanity

Asset fwd NVT P/DAA Comment
Bitcoin 32 × 68 × Liquidity premium justified
Ethereum 26 × 54 × Higher fee capture offsets lower scarcity
BNB 85 × 190 × Centralisation discount persists
Solana 12 × 29 × Execution risk priced in

Median peer NVT 19 × ⇒ BTC trades at 1.7× peer median, in line with five‑year average.


7. Key Risks (probability × impact)

  1. Regulatory clamp‑down on energy use – EU emission limits could curtail PoW mining; scenario cuts fair value 18 %.
  2. ETF outflows amid macro risk‑off – 40 % retail share raises volatility; one‑sigma drawdown to €70 k.
  3. Protocol attack / critical bug – Low likelihood but existential; Black‑Swan downside >80 %.
  4. Superior alternative store‑of‑value – ETH deflation + staking yield could compress BTC scarcity premium.
  5. Custody failures – A major CEX hack (>€5 bn) would dent confidence, broaden bid‑ask, lift NVT denominator.
